At the time of her arrest on October 29, the woman was accused of pretending to be a cardiologist.
She had offices in two different locations in Springs and conducted home visits.
The woman first appeared in court the following day and was granted R4 000 bail.
After failing to show for her next court appearance on November 4, a warrant of arrest was issued, and the accused handed herself over on November 5.
She has been held at the Johannesburg Correctional Centre since and will remain behind bars until her next court appearance.
